Case Advice

**mujeresliebres** · 03-09-2013, 02:26 PM

Just bought a Nexus 4 for my boyfriend. It is his first smartphone - he's been using old HP phones for years, like an iPaq kind of deal. So in other words he's really used to a stylus or even a qwerty keyboard. I know he's been thinking about making the leap from 2003; so I thought our anniversary would be a good excuse.

Anyway I want the transition to be smooth for him so I need some case recommendations - ones that can integrate a stylus. Would a leather folio flip style be good? I know he's had a leather style flip (vertical not horizontal) in the past. Are there any hard cases out there with like a side clip. I know lots of styluses come with head phone jack clips, but that always seemed annoying to me. Does anyone have any thoughts on that as well? I was leaning towards the Wacom Bamboo and that comes in several styles including a normal pen clip and the head phone jack.

Thanks in advance.

You can NOT use a stylus with the Nexus 4.

As Greg said above, you can't use a stylus on a Nexus 4, or just about any smart phone for that matter (I think the Note lets you use a stylus).

As for cases, there are tons. If he wants to be able to clip his phone to his belt, and keep it out of his pockets, there are a few good choices at Seidio ().
